  1. Is nursing your second career?

    nicubee posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've read several threads about people with degrees and established careers in another field completing their pre-reqs and applying for nursing schools. Most writers on these threads seem so excited...

  2. Any therapists turned RN out there???

    nicubee posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've read on this site about accountants and social workers changing to the nursing field, but what about PT/OT/ST practitioners??? I began as a nursing student at 17, with the plan of becoming a...

  3. Metro Atlanta OB jobs for LPNs?

    nicubee posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    My daughter is in her mid-20s and is getting ready to move home so she can go back to school for nursing. She was originally going to do an ADN program, but wants to finish quickly so she can return...

    nicubee posted a topic in General Students

  5. Need a reality check

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in General Students

    Your replies have really helped me, and I'm sure others will benefit too. I am also a pediatric OT and HouTx, you're right. When I work with an infant or toddler using balls and toys, I know that it...

    I got 100% on my presentation on this topic! Actually, writing about it in this thread helped me organize my thoughts, so thanks for asking about it!

  10. What is muscle tone and how's its assessment is done in an unconscious patient?

    nicubee replied to Rajveer Kaur's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can help with this topic-- I am an OT and a BSN student. Muscle tone refers to the amount of resistance to stretch muscles have while at rest. Most of us, whether we're fitness trainers or couch...

  11. Neonatal MSN-CNS vs BSN

    nicubee posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm jumping the gun because I am a BSN student, but I am trying to understand what an MSN-neonatal CNS is and if there are specific positions in NICUs for nurses with this degree. If so, what...

  17. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It doesn't surprise me that ASN letters have not gotten to you yet. I bet they avoid confusion and errors by waiting until after the seat reservation deadline for BSN, so they are not receiving...

    Hi OT! Have you seen the area on this site dedicated to school nursing? Click on the "specialty" tag at the top of the page and go down to "nursing specialties." It's there among the options,...

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Terralynn, I know that some clinicals are held at MCCG, but I don't know where else we will be going. On page one of this thread calhoun mentioned a few places like the health department. I don't...

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thank you Lvance7. I'm so sorry that you did not get the BSN, but I am keeping hopeful for you with the ASN. Those letters might be on their way sooner than you think. It seems like they announce...

  25. Macon State BSN Fall 2011

    nicubee replied to nicubee's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks, Terralyn!! Sometimes the mail I send to my CA family gets there quick and sometimes it takes a little longer... I wish it was more predictable. Also, some of you applied for both BSN and...
